We've all hear that rhyme "Sticks and stone my break my bones but words will never hurt me".
"He who holds his tongue is wise" Proverbs 10:19
That stuck a cord with me as I sat here working on sermons for the youth. I got to thinking back about this past year.....what all have I said that hurt those who I love? "Words will never hurt me".... um yeah they do!!!! Our words are kinda like toothpaste ( I know a strange way to think about it). If we take a tube of toothpaste and sqeeze it all out there is absolutely no way we can put it all back in the tube! Once we say something we cant suck it back in! Although that would be super cool if we could!!!
Just a thought as we enter a new year..... Can I hold my tongue?
